1.Explain the importance of providing quality non-alcoholic beverages. • Managers should be concerned about the service of non-alcoholic beverages because they are popular and profitable. • Attention to simple but important details can help ensure that water, coffee, tea, soft drinks, and milk consistently meet the establishment’s quality standards.
2. Describe federal, state, and local regulations that impact the purchase and management of alcoholic beverages. • The federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) enforces federal laws related to the manufacture and sale of alcohol. • State licenses permit operations to sell beer only; beer and wine; or beer, wine, and spirits. • Managers must know and comply with all regulations applicable to what is sold; where, when, how, and to whom; and in what quantity. • Many municipalities have their own liquor authority and regulations that affect the sale of alcoholic beverages, and local laws are often stricter than the applicable state laws. • Local regulations also deal with food and fire safety code regulations that impact beverage operations. • The storage of alcoholic beverages and supplies used to prepare them are of concern during food safety inspections.
3. Explain basic management practices applicable to selecting, purchasing, receiving, storing, and issuing alcoholic beverages. • In control states, the state is the only supplier of liquor. • In license states, the state grants licenses to wholesalers, distributors, or manufacturers to sell alcohol. • Many types of beers and liquors are available, and managers must determine those that are most popular. • Product costs and selling price potentials are additional concerns. • Storage concerns relate to maintaining quality and reducing theft. • Physical inventories on at least a monthly basis are necessary to determine the quantity and cost of products in inventory. • Beverage issues should be on a full-bottle-for- empty-bottle basis to reestablish the behind-bar par level.
4. Explain beverage-production standards for bar layout and drink preparation procedures. • A beverage-production area (bar) must be designed for employee efficiency. • Control of alcoholic beverages is important to manage costs, meet standards, and ensure that alcohol is served responsibly. • Drink production is standardized using standardized recipes that specify portion size and by ensuring that quantity measures are always used. • Glasses and even the ice used have an impact on beverage quality.
5. Describe the use of manual and automated beverage-production methods. • Even experienced bartenders must follow standardized recipes for beverages. • Spirits should be measured with a portion control tool (jigger) or with a metered pour spout. • High-revenue-volume operations may automate production of highballs and cocktails using dispensing systems that automatically determine the customer charge, assess the quantity of liquor used, and ensure that the correct portion of alcohol is served.
6. Describe three beverage service methods. • Three basic methods can be used to serve alcoholic beverages to customers. • First, bartenders serve drinks to customers at the bar and may serve customers in nearby areas during slow times. • Second, beverage servers serve customers in the bar lounge or other areas. • Third, bartenders and servers are used. • With this system, the bartender may also serve food at bar areas.
7. Explain procedures for managing wine sales. • Effective wine purchasing requires product knowledge and an understanding of value and customer preferences. • There is a long tradition of food and wine pairings in which wines are selected after the food item to complement the food. • A wine list serves the same purpose as a food menu. • There are many strategies to ensure customers have desired wine alternatives. • The selling price should be in line with the operation’s pricing structure and generally based on marking up the cost.
7. Explain procedures for managing wine sales continued… • Managers must plan for wine storage and monitor the temperature, light level, and relative humidity of storage areas unless wines will be used soon after purchase. • Wines sold by the bottle should be presented and served according to procedures established by the property. • These typically allow the host to sample wine and make wine service an important part of the dining experience.
